What proof do I need to get my prior service awards on my ERB?

I am about to attend the promotion board and need to update my ERB. I am a prior service Marine with awards from my prior service days. What documentation to I need in order to serve as proof for the awards I earned?

Prior service personnel receive a “Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty” which is more commonly known as the DD 214. the DD 214 is a quick summary of the servicemember’s service and includes awards received and training attended to name the least. This form will suffice as a source document to update your ERB.
